October 10

Lao Tzu (some old wise Chinese dude) said, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” And he wasn’t wrong. Everything begins somewhere. Everything has its beginning, but the trouble is that some of us never begin. We are masters at putting off today what we can do tomorrow. The level of procrastination (sloth) for some of us nears a level of perfection that almost deserves to be awarded. And it would be admirable if our goal was to never do anything we truly wanted to do. If our goals were to live in our mom’s basement and smoke weed all day, they would erect statues of us sitting on that torn-up couch! But our recovery and newfound life have placed us in a position that compels us to step out of our comfort couches (a.k.a. ‘comfort zones’) and put a foot firmly in the direction of our aspirations. The only question is, are you ready for the journey?

Reflections

What do you want to do? What have you always wanted to do but never had the guts to do?
